HOME FROM DENVER.
MIR. and Mrs. EIlingham Return From a
a Delightful Trip.

u Delightful Trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ellingham re-
turned yesterday from their Western trip,
greatly pleased with it. DIR. Ellingham
went to Denver as a delegate from the
Grand Lodge /. o. o. F. of West Virginia
to the Grand Lodge of the United States,
which met in that city. The other two
delegates were Mr.. o. S. Mckinney, of
Grafton, and DR.. COlley Shriyer, of
Bethany, the latter of whom was
also accompanied by his wife. Mr.. Ell
bingham is enthusiastic over the trip and
relates many interesting incidents con-
nected with it. He says Colorado is a fine
country to live III, the scenery is beauti-
ful, the climate healthtul, and all that,
but from q business point OF view he
greatly preferred Wheeling.
Mr.. Ellingham and Mr.. Jacob Morris,
who accompanied the party, started
to climb Pixies Peak one day, and the
former only got two miles when he found
he was weary, but Mr.. Morris went on to
the halfway house. MIR. Ellingham
brought home a number of mementoes of
the trip, some of which are very handsome.
Returning he came by way of Wichita and
Omaha, and says he never stopped OFF in a
town but that he met some old Wheeling
people, ami all seem to be doing
well. He and Mrs. Ellingham were
in st. Louis Sunday and Monday
while President and Mrs. Cleveland were
there, and by bribiug n porter and
several policemen they got in a rear door
of the Planters Hotel during the reception
and stood directly behind the Presidential
party, enjoying the scene greatly. Mr..
Ellingham said he saw one %Strapping big
fellow from Texas come alOngi in the crowd,
and not knowing which was the President,
be seized the hand of another of the party,
shook it, and was passing along when the
President seized him by the coat and hold
ing oat his hand, said: 'hOwdy." The
party remained onloOkers for over half an
hour, when they swept out into the throng
and went through the mill.
There were over one hundred thousand
strangers in Denver during the meeting of
the Grand Lodge, and it was a big success
The next meeting will be held in Los
Angeles, Cal, and it is expected that the
attendance will be even larger than this
year.

A wanderer Found.

Yesterday the police received informa-
ton that Mrs. Annie Hacker, who lives at
No. 81 Twenty.irst street, had wandered
away from her home, and that it was
feared some harm would result to her. An
alarm was sent out to the force on duty,
but no trace could be found of the woman
until last evening, when word WAS tele-
phoned from the Hook and Ladder house
that a strange woman had been brought
there. Officer Lukens was sent over, and
found it was Mrs. Hacker. She bad wan
dered out OF town, and stopped al the mouse
of Mrs. Plankey, on the top OF the hill east
of the Fifth ward. The people kept her
there for a time, and then brought her
down to town and took her to the Hook
and Ladder house, where she was found by
the officer, as related.

- CRAZY t -

And Charming Kate Castleton at the Opera
House This Evening.
This evening Miss Kate Castletoa and
her company will open an engagement of
three performances at the Opera House in
that absurdly funny cOneeit Cray
Patch" and the house will doubtless be
crowded. The Pittsburg Dispatch says of
the company and play: Kate Castleton
didn't bring q basket OF chestnuts with
her, as some expected. Her Crazy Patch
has quite a lot of new patches in it. The
musical numbers are mainly new, and all
are attractive. The songs are also new
and catchy. The audience which greeted
heS 1T the Bijou last night wa kept be-
tween a gdR spd a roar all the time. The
laughter was not at ally things, but at
the brightness in the lines, the GutepeSs Of
the songs or the c~leverness of the actors.
All seem to agree that Crazy Patch is
mack better bar when first seen here, and
is worth the sAoley."

DepIorable Accident Out at Elm Grove,
Yesterday Afternoon.
A deplorahle accident, which, from re-
ports current in the streets last night, will
probably result in the death Of the victim,
occurred out at Elm Grove, about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wounded
man ia a colored youth named Andrew
Jackson, aged about eighteen or twenty
years. 1t seems young Jackson had in
tended to 90 out hunting, and taking his
gun, started to climb over the rear fence OF
the premises where he lives. In some
manner tie gun caught in the fence, and
the hammer was drawn back and the gun
discharged. The charge entered Iackson's
right side, making a horrible wound. The
people In the house heard the report Of the
gun, and looking from the windows saw
the wounded man staggering across the
yard with his hand pressed to his side. He
was assisted into the house and Drs. Storer
and Cracraft sent for, who rendered the
necessary surgical assistaace, The wound
is reported as being a very bad n

IMPORTANT ARREST.
A UNITED STATES PRISONER LODGED IN
THE LOOKUP, LATE LAST NIGHT.
Nelson Vincent Of Marshall County, Arrested, BY
Special Government Officer on the Charge
Of Fraud-The Prisoners Story.

About midnight last nightA. NJ. Roome,
q s pecial Government detective attached
70 the Pension Bureau, arrived at Pollee
headquarters with a prisoner, whom he
lodged in cell No. l in the lookup, pend
ing a hearing before United States Com
missioner Forbes this morning. The pris'
onet is Nelson Vincent, a resident of Mar
shall county, this State, his home being
near the Pennsylvania line, and, according
to- the information furnished at head
quarters by Officer Roome, he L
charged with having defrauded Mrs
Robert Jenkins, a widow, of Greene
county, Pa, out of $500 of pension money
awarded her by the government at Wash
ington. The story goes that Vincent pre-
pared the papers for Mrs. Jenkins and sent
them on. The pension was allowed, and
a check was sent for $1,000. This was
cashed by the prisoner, who held $500 o.
the money and turned over $1,000 to the
widow.
This story the prisoner denies. Mr.. Vim
cent was seen in his cell at h~eadqnarter:
by a REGISTER reporter about half-pasi
one O'Clock this morning. He is a large,
ine-lOoking man, and did not seem to bt
at all disturbed at the very unpleasant sit
nation in which he found himself. HI
said:

| Jenkins. She is a widow. Her husband
was Robert Jenkins, who was a member o.
| Company K, Tenth West Virginia Infantry,
and was killed at Winchester. / have

ted States Commissioner in the morning

This is the extent OF the information
Obtainable this morning concerning thu
case. The examination before Commits
sieuer Forbes to-day will probably throw
some additional light on the subject.

A TOUGH ~QUARTETTE.
Four Young Men Who INDUCED in q wind
.Ccwbo Time-

Four Young MEN VINO 1huuAScu IN WIN
.Ccwbo Time
Yesterday morning the REGISTER con-
tanned a brief paragraph relative to the
wild tear a quartette Of citizens went on,
ON the South Side, at a late hour Wednes-
day night. Few particulars could be OBJ
tanned at the time the paragraph was
written, as the men had not then been put
under arrest, but later in the night Officers
Carney and Wilkie got their hands on the
men and they were taken to the City Hall
and locked up. The names Of the hilar-
ious four are Con Deyinney, Wm. Lowry,
Thomas Flynn and Clarence Johnson, and
the way they made things stand around
in the district south of the stone bridge
would b. We been a caution to cowboys.
They literally took the neighborhOod by
storm, amusing themselves with such
playful antics as cleaning out the candy
store kept by Mrs. Ship, throwing bricks
and beer mugs at the glassware in POrter's
saloon, striking remonstratiye bar-keepers
and proprietors with rocks" and
raising sundry and divers ows at
McEntee's, Porter's, MuldOon's and
other places in the Main street
portion of the Fifth ward. Before the
gang got through they beat up Thomas
Porter, and that gentleman secured o re-
yolyer, and would have made a good item
out of some of the assailants had the pistol
been in working order. The men were
arraigned before His Honor in Police Court
and sent to the hill in default of the pay
ment of the fine assessed.
This punishment did not seem to be
severe enough to some of the agrieved par
ties, and during yesterday a warrant was
sworn out before Justice Davis under the
riot act, charging the men with having
deliberately assembled for the pupose OF
creating tumult. His Honor Mayor Sea-
bright was appealed to to allow the mep
to be released from the City Prison and be
taken before the Justice at seven O'Clock
last night, and he accordingly wrote out
the order, but later he thought the best
way would be to allow the men to serve
out their present sentences and then catch
them up on the warrant, and the order
was accordingly rescinded and the men re-
mailed in the City Prison.

and sunk his teeth deep into the flesh.
The cries Of the lad brought assistance and
the dog made of, while the injured boy
was taken to DR.. Hupp's office where the
wound, which was quite serious, was
dressed. Notice Was LETT at Police head
quarters and Officer Deku waS @eat out to
Gardner's house to kill the dog. This wa
not an easy matter, however. The brute
seemed 10 appreciate what he had done
and that his hide VA in danger, so he
crawled under the house and refused to
be cOaxed or driven ont. Jacob shot MIN
all the same after a little trouble; then he
got four boys to carry the body up to the
crematory, where il wa reduced to ashes
in short order. On account of the depth
of the bite young McCulley's wounds may
prove dangerous
